Garlic
Perhaps the most significant effect of garlic is on
the lipid profile of the blood and tissues. It lowers cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL cholesterol levels, while increasing the beneficial HDL
cholesterol. Onions have the same effect.
The bulb of the plant is a relative of onions and
chives. The flavor is very strong use chopped, minced, and powdered to season many dishes.
Researchers at Loma Linda University have found
that compounds in garlic activate enzymes in the liver that destroy aflatoxin, a potent carcinogen produced by mold that can grow on peanuts
and grains. Aflatoxins are a leading cause of liver
cancer.
